Abstract:
Cross-Linguistic Data Formats (CLDF) is an increasingly common standardized data format for storing and distributing a wide range of comparative linguistic, cultural, ethnographic, geographic, and religious data. The rcldf package provides a lightweight R toolkit for loading and reading CLDF files from both local and remote sources. The package facilitates analysis with R by providing a number of convenience methods for converting CLDF data, and connecting to standard ‘reference catalogues’. The aim of rcldf is to provide researchers with a robust toolkit for seamlessly integrating CLDF datasets into their workflows, enhancing the efficiency of linguistic and cultural research.
